Rufus, sounds like you had a nice, potentially profitable visit with your trader. Looks like you guys think like me, which could be scary.

Only one I had doubts on is Cal. I agree it will be low scoring but I hate betting unders. Is it just my SEC homerism that is making me think the West Coast boys travelling east, to a nice humid environment, losing a couple hours, end up losing this one in the end? 

Best of luck on another profitable week.

Rufus, thanks for the write ups my man.  Keep up the good work man.  Thoughts on UCF? I get the revenge for Pitt and Stanford is bad and all that stuff, but I feel none of that matters because for the last 3 year UCF has played with a chip on their shoulder every single game.  They have something to prove every time they step on a field.  I like the Knights -12 think they roll up Pitt pretty easily.  

BOL this week man

Good luck this week and the rest of the season 

From my notes:

Very strongly considering UCF. To use the cliche they are a well oiled machine would describe them. They also have speed, which is going to be difficult for Pittsburgh to contain who are letting their corners play man on man. Once UCF gets ahead the Panthers do not have the capability of keeping up. Pitt also does not have the rushing attack (worse in the ACC) to be productive enough to drain the time clock keeping UCF offensive off the field. Last year when Pitt was a much better and complete team, UCF blew them out 45-14. Last thing to consider is that Pitt is coming off and emotional game against rival Penn State which they left everything they had on the field losing 17-10. Can they get back up and have the emotion and energy to take down a high flying team like UCF? Probably not ..... What type of week of practice did they have after this emotional and draining loss to Penn State?  When you are beat down you are beat down, and this is certainly a very difficult game for the Panthers of Pitt to rise up to what it is going to take to beat Knights. 

Hope this helps ... 

Urban- Solid post, thanks for the info. I'm leaning the same way. Tough loss last week against in state rival. Now good luck getting up for UCF who I feel plays every game like they have something to prove. 

Anyone have any thoughts on Illinois? Line has blown all the way up to 13.5? Nebraska with a ton of over value since beating up on NIU and Illinois getting caught with their pants down against EMU. I think U of I RB back to full health they'll be a handful. Nebraska has lost their last 8 road games outright. 41-34 type game? 

My intuition tells me Nebraska is going to blowout Illinois, and it is one of my top plays. Sometimes you just have to throw statistics and trends out the window and go with the vibe/intuition. With that being said, Nebraska has much better talent, and a much better coaching staff. Go Big Red! 

You got some very favorable lines there. Never once did i see Utah at -1 and A&M -3 . I bet A&m -4 last sunday night and Utah was -4 1/3

Funky appreciate the picks and the nice explanations you do on some of the games, the time and effort is 

I took ALL of that into consideration when I got Ole Miss at 2.5 I think that early start is worth noting. 

0-fer

looks like a Vegas set up.  None of them were even close
